Hi. My name is Rose. I'm 20 years old. I am a queer person of color. I am Asian and bisexual. I use she her pronouns and I am assist female. I was originally adopted from China at the age of eleven months and I came over to the US at eleven months. My mom is a single mother and she's also a white, so I am a transracial adoptee
My mother is Jewish, with relatives from Poland, pre Holocaust and post Holocaust. We ended up in Canada and then the US, but my father's side of the family is Persian, Armenian. So I've been this kind of mishmash of both, and I don't quite fit into either community. Or at least I haven't been fully accepted by either community

But when you hear them speak it with all the imperfection, it's kind of a cool journey, so I hope you enjoy it. And thanks for bringing on people. We are always interested in building community, and that's what each of us are doing right now. So thanks for putting together some more small cast like you are right now and engage us. So awesome. Thanks

Hey, Taylor, thanks for the reply. I wasn't expecting to get any actually, but I'm glad you can understand my identity politics issue. Have actually seen this Advertisement for a company called Jew Belong, and it helps people who aren't familiar with Jewish culture or traditions learn about them in a safe space. And I think that would be something worth pursuing for you if you haven't already
Deborah, thanks for addressing the pauses. I'm terrified of pausing. I always think I have to be this perfect person. Exactly what I want to say every second I'm speaking. So this is going to help me a lot. Thank you
